Japanese students work very hard but many are unhappy. They feel heavy pressures from their parents. Most students are always told by their parents to study harder and better so that they can have a wonderful life in the future. Though this may be a good idea for those smart students, it can have terrible results for many students who are not gifted enough. Many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and have their parents lose hope. Such students feel that they are hated by everyone else they meet and they don’t want to go to school any more. They become dropouts(退学者).
It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they don’t help them in any way. Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers’ work to help children. To make matters worse, a lot of parents send their children to those schools opening in the evenings and on weekeds—they only help the students to pass the exams and never teach them any real sense of the world.
Many Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students’ hair to their clothes and the things in their school bags. Child psychologists now think that such strict rules are harmful(有害的) to the feelings of the students. Almost 40% of the students said that no one had taught them how to get on with others, how to tell right from wrong and how to show love and care for others, even for their parents.
